I can see the objection, but I'm a land of hope and glory man myself. Or perhaps Elgar.

Who says? Who can deny us a referendum? If the populace demand one then it is their right to have one. England has governed itself for a thousand years why should it appear to you that this is no longer possible? How odd. So what your saying here is that Scotland being the most parochial nation of the union can suddenly govern itself quite happily, having had no recent experience and lacking the finance to support itself, but England can't?

It's usually the left that use the term British in such an incorrect manner. It's part of that all inclusivity that they preach which is then snubbed by those it is meant to appease. Personally I'd ditch the term. We don't even have a tick box for English on our forms any more, they insist on a box marked British. :rolleyes

There appears to be a trend amongst current politicians and left wing trendies to show how cosmopolitan they are by destroying or giving away much of our heritage. My view is that they can give away as much as they like of that which belongs to them, but nothing at all of what belongs to others, as it isn't theirs to give. What's complicated or weird about that?
By the way this software is shite I'm struggling to separate the text.
